Chapter 228
As long as it is not now, you can find that the Holy Road City is heavily guarded. The port has been locked and the defense barrier has been opened, so no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Not long after, Iris's little head popped out and looked curiously at the ship that was boarding with them.
When the church people led her to the ship, more than a dozen female guards wanted to follow, but were stopped.
"Except for Lady Iris, no one else is allowed to enter the city. If nothing goes wrong, the ban will be lifted in the next two days. Please return or wait outside."
This escort ship was specially sent by the Kingdom of Qiduo to escort Princess Iris.
Since the witch and demon of the Western Broccoli Kingdom escaped, in order to cover up their tracks, their apostles adopted the strategy of blooming on the tree, causing destruction everywhere to release corpse ghosts and spread plague to confuse the eyes and ears.
Among them, the most seriously invaded by corpse ghosts is the Free City, but the Free City is an inland country. After the reinforcements led by Xiye rushed to solve the corpse ghost problem, they had to rush all the way to the nearest neighboring port to take a ship to the Holy Empire.
The country most affected by the epidemic was Maple Leaf Country, followed by Chito Kingdom. Iris went to Maple Leaf Country for treatment all the way to Chito. Finally, Chito Kingdom sent a guard ship to pick up Iris to express gratitude.
In other words, as long as Iris and her guards were sent there, the mission of this guard ship would be completed.
At present, because the guards are still on the ship, they have to stay for a few more days.
Iris is highly respected in the church, so there is no need to worry about her following the church's ship.
After the silly roe deer got on the ship, he asked curiously: "What happened? Why is the port blocked?"
After the captain saluted respectfully, he smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you came at an unfortunate time. The sacrificial spear of the Holy Meeting was dumped by the scoundrels the day before yesterday. One of them was caught, and another cruel criminal is lurking in the city and has not been caught yet?"
Iris blinked her green eyes and opened her mouth slightly. Obviously, she did not expect someone to be so bold.
"Besides, the fugitive is very dangerous. He is a cannibal. It is too dangerous to allow such a dangerous guy to enter the port without knowing the situation."
When Iris heard the word cannibal, her face turned pale and she was extremely worried.
"Little Rin... Rin Phoenix, my fiancé, do you know him? He is also in the Holy Road City."
The sailors on the ship heard this and whispered to each other.
They have been active on the periphery. They just heard that a saint chosen by God appeared. It seems to be called Rin. It is said that only the candidate has not been confirmed. The news is so confusing that no one knows what is going on.
The superiors only ordered them to pay attention to the ships from the Kingdom of Giorar and welcome Princess Iris. They don't know anything else.
The captain scratched his head: "Our new candidate for the saint is indeed called Rin. I don't know her last name, but she should not be the fiancé you mentioned."
After all, a saint can't be a man.
Iris was a little confused: "What about Emilia? She came with us."
"Ah, the brave man! She is the companion of His Highness Lin. I heard that the Kingdom Sword Saint Xiye is also here!"
Iris opened her mouth, which could already fit a pigeon egg. Her eyes were wide open, and she was confused.
"Then the Lin you are talking about is my fiancé! Saint... What about the saint?"
Little Lin is not a girl. I have studied his magic device more than once. How could she be a saint?
"This... We don't know either. You will know when you see her."
The patrol sailors on the ship were all clueless. After all, except for sleeping in shifts, they were on the outer sea for 24 hours a day. How could they have the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the inner city?
Iris's head was full of the words "little Lin" and "saint", and her tangled hair was almost tangled.
The ship passed through a large number of drifting ships from a special channel. When it approached the port barrier, it stopped and blew the whistle to call for people.
Until a bishop and several knights approached from the long plank road on the side of the port. The bishop asked the knight to be on guard with a dream catcher, and he held the rune stone through the barrier and took Iris back.
When he returned to the barrier and quickly put away the rune stone, the bishop was relieved.
There was no way. The Wendigo was very fast. It was probably an assassin or a thief. It was high-level and very good at hiding and sneaking.
It tried to sneak attack several times last night and almost succeeded.
If it was allowed to eat people again, suppress the curse and keep sanity to continue hiding, then it would have to continue to pull endlessly.
It would be embarrassing if it got out. The center of the church was actually led by a rat of at most level 60.
It can only be said that it is really difficult to chase without a high-level hunter.
The group surrounded Iris and carefully left the port and entered the departure area.
As soon as they walked to a street in the departure area, something strange happened.
A golden light suddenly exploded in the air, and a bright flame ball like a small sun appeared in the center of the inner city, and the dazzling light spread outward.
Then the fire burst out, and countless meteor-like light points spread downward, falling indiscriminately around like cannonballs, exploding with a boom.
It was like a large-scale meteor shower.
The knights and priests who noticed this became agitated and hurriedly ran to the scene of the incident.
The bishop who led the team, like everyone else, guessed that the fugitive finally couldn't help but appear, and he would definitely be captured soon.
The two knights behind him wanted to go and take a look, but were stopped by him.
"Other companions will go, what are you doing? Our duty is to protect Princess Iris!"
The restless people calmed down and continued to lead Iris forward.
At this time, no one noticed that the manhole cover moved.
At the dirty sewer entrance, a pair of beast-like red eyes stared at the few people, and opened his mouth to reveal a row of sharp teeth.
Orig has been in the sewer for a long time, and he has been tossed into a dirty rat.
People from the church come to the sewer for inspection twice a day, but he uses the intricate pipes or hides in the sewage to avoid them.
Wandering in the inner city sewer for a long time, he found a pipe connecting one end of the Mass Bridge. As long as he jumps into the sea and swims to the other end and then gets into the pipe, he can complete the switch between the two areas.
During this period, he has been trying to use this to escape.
The greedy consciousness in his body can no longer be suppressed, and his ordinary face has begun to distort.
Several wrinkles appeared on his face, turning it into a triangle, and his eyes became two thin slanted eyes, which looked very ferocious.
Several sword wounds on his body had become infected and festering. He couldn't help scratching them, and a few vicious curses came out of his mouth.
Last night, he found a woman wandering on the street. She didn't hide in the house guarded by the dream catcher like other hateful humans, and some even carried it with them.
At that time, Orig had set his sights on the young woman with a hood and tender skin, and wanted to capture her and eat her alive to suppress the curse.
Unexpectedly, the woman was only about level 40, but the weapon in her hand was a magic sword, and she also carried several defensive magic devices.
Relying on the sharp weapon, she left several sword marks on his body. If he hadn't run fast, I'm afraid he would have lost his life.
Damn cousin, sooner or later I will cut off your connective tissue!
He shouted in his heart, and his malicious eyes stared at the little girl protected by the church's hawks.
She was white and tender, about level 10, and looked like a mage or a healer. The pure angel-like son of God had a charming holy aura.
It must be... delicious.
But he had to hold back his appetite. Such a protected little thing must be of extraordinary status and was the best chance to help him escape.
He used the sewer pipe to set up one of his most precious magic guides in the inner city. Although he felt distressed, he had no choice but to do so if he wanted to escape.
At that time, he thought of using the chaos to kill a few bishops to see if they had the "key" to pass through the barrier.
Now it has a better use.
The weak little girl seemed to sense his sight and swept over. Oreg lowered his head quickly, his heart still pounding for his immediate plan, and then jumped down the pipe with a ladder, ready to start his plan.
Not long after, they had reached the central intersection of the departure area.
But at this moment, a group of furry black things came out from the opening of the roadside draining rainwater and rushed towards the nine people from all directions.
The knight at the back was the first to be hit. He felt something crawling on his body and screamed in surprise. Then he waved his body to shake off the rats that had crawled on his body.
The knights were wearing armor from later generations. They used magic to condense shields and shook the rats off directly.
Seeing a large number of rats rushing out, Iris also quickly applied holy light shields to her and the three people nearby.
At present, her light shield has a maximum range of only four people.
At this time, the manhole cover on the side flew up, and a black shadow came out and threw a spherical object in the middle of Iris's bishop.
The spherical object looked like a baseball, but the surface was inlaid with gems, and many complex metal tubes could be seen in the middle.
"Protect the princess!"
The bishop shouted and chanted to activate the light shield.
The two knights reacted quickly, grabbed the dream catcher, and rushed towards Iris.
The baseball-shaped magic device lit up with a green light, and suddenly a strong wind blew, forming a wind barrier directly in front of the knights, temporarily separating them from Iris.
Oreg knew that although the magic device could stop the level 50 bishop, it would not last too long.
However, he only needed these few seconds.
And now the distance from the dream catcher was not safe, he had to endure the pain of his soul being torn apart and hit it with one strike.
In a flash, he pounced on Iris like a bat.
His face was twisted in pain because his soul was about to be torn apart, and his whole body seemed to be burning and bursting with black smoke. The black smoke covered his body to protect him, but it was helpless against the dream catcher.
The young woman who was rushing towards this side not far away saw this scene and was extremely anxious. She ran so fast that her body turned into a residual image.
At this critical moment, the hair on Iris's head jumped.
A little mouse slipped into Orrig's clothes at some point and was taken out. It couldn't find the exit and kept running around anxiously. Finally, it caught a fragile semicircular object and bit it.
Orrig screamed, his body stopped in mid-air, and flew diagonally to the other side.
At the same time, the sword-holding goddess statue, which represented fairness, justice and judgment, had a metal sword in her hand that was supposed to be pointing downwards, but at some point, it turned out to be pointing at him.
His body brushed past Iris, and he couldn't stabilize at all, and he hit the long sword directly.
The statue is made of stone and metal. To prevent accidents, the long sword is unsharpened metal.
But at this moment, the long sword suddenly became extremely sharp, ignoring the shield on his body, piercing him through and hanging in front of the statue.
Iris's hair jumped again, and she quickly covered her head and pressed her hair, looking at Oreg who was struggling to pull herself out.
Finally, her eyes stayed on the serious goddess statue, clasped her hands together, and prayed seriously.
"Dear Goddess of Light, thank you for your help and thank you for giving me good luck."
This kind of danger occasionally occurs at the border, and in the end, she is safe and sound.
Iris will not make a fuss, and she is not panicked at all.
The young woman who has run to her side, with the rapier in her hand, directly pierced the wind barrier. After coming in, she lifted her sleeves without saying a word, revealing the magic device on her arm.
An electric net flew out, covering the pierced Oreg, preventing him from counterattacking or crashing to death and escaping.
"Are you okay?"
The young woman asked hurriedly.
Iris felt the other party's kindness and concern, and smiled innocently: "It's okay, thank you for your concern."
"Ahem... Hehe, hehe... Hey!"
At this moment, Oreg, who was hanging on the statue, laughed sharply and crazily.
His body seemed to be inflated, fat as a ball, with magic running all over his body, giving people a feeling of extreme danger of exploding at any time.
"Then... Come with me... Die together."
The young woman's face changed, and she quickly stood in front of Iris.
Oreg's spherical body has turned into a hedgehog, with countless spikes piercing through the body from the black blood vessels all over, and it seems that it will burst out with the explosion.
At the critical moment, a purple arrow shot quickly and pierced him through again.
Not only that, the demonic energy all over his body, like a blooming flower stamen, emerged for a while and then retracted, all of which was sucked into the arrow.
"Hey, Junior Iris, why are you so careless? Do you want to get hurt so that my juniors can surround you every day? Too cunning."
Chapter 12 Who wouldn't take advantage of the goddess?
A beautifully shaped blue and white longbow was in the hands of the Demon King.
She waved her hand, and the arrow was pulled out of Oreg and flew back to Qiyu's palm.
"Qi...Xingli!"
